Hat Yai - Chapter 2,3,4

Looking at the tittle gives you the hint. This is a summary of the whole trip..no more long essays with details. Guess you get bored reading it, so did I, typing it all out~ :) This might be the longest post i have..it's a 3 in 1 post! LOL. enjoy~

--->Breakfast at Phoenix Nutraceuticals, Kedah

---> money exchanger for those who forgotten to change their currency

---> Duty Free complex, bought liquor chocolates!! forever my favorite :D I saw liquor and perfume heaven at there too! lol

---> Thailand check point, lined up for about 30minutes before its our turn to get the passport checked. I did hear that Thai just survived a flood, but i didn't expect somebody to flood the toilet as well. haha

---> met up with our funny Thai tour guide, Lulu. She taught us on basic ways of Thai greeting and some funny words~ XD Ex: one slice of pineapple{chan ni sapbard nung} which sounds like "chop you into eighteen pieces" in chinese! LOL. The whole bus laughed even more when she taught us how to ask for chicken thigh for lunch.

---> chicken rice shop, had our lunch. Lulu told us that Thai is famous for their chicken because their chicken is kampung chicken=.= Another specialty of theirs, we ate mango and pineapple. Surprisingly all their pineapple are sweet and the green mango is crunchy O_O

---> temple of the living monk. I'm not quite sure bout the temple's name because its all in Thai words :) Briefly, its about a monk who died but lived. He might seem dead but he is still alive. haha. confusing isn't it? He came back alive after death because his body doesn't rot and his hair and nails grow normally just that his heart has stopped beating.

the temple where he rest in

a statue of the living monk

---> and yea!! Lulu told us they don't have taxi like us do. Instead they have tut-tut car or monkey-car{translate it to chinese} hehe. They call it a monkey car because passengers can actually stand during the whole journey while clinging onto the handle bars like a monkey! Tut-tut car is almost the same pattern as monkey car just lack of place to act like a monkey. haha

monkey-car. You stand at the back of the car while holding onto the side rails :D

---> temple of Chinese gods? o.0 like Chinese temples we have in Malaysia, but theirs is a bit different. This temple actually has a place where they keep dead people. Humans in coffins or ash jars, I'm not very sure but Lulu told us not to go through the main door where they store them. So we went through the second door and here comes my bad luck=_= It's drizzling and i'm a bit careless tough.. I slipped and fell when i tried to climb the slippery stairs but i managed to support my fall or else i'll kiss the ground face front first... Blue black on my patella, scrapped some finger skin off but alive :D Next fall when on the way out, it feels like slipping on oil but i caught my balance well this time=.=

this is one HUGE statue still in construction

few hundreds of gold monks? o_o

ahh~ kitty addiction i found at the temple :D

---> reached Sakun Hotel which people say its a so-called 3star hotel. Well, no building survived the muddy flood but still, the hotel stinks=.= So far, the hotel is still a place for humans to stay, bathtubs with plenty of hot water{its freezing in Thai..for me}, enough lighting to keep the room bright at night{hope you get what i mean.haha} and television!

--->Night activities for adults~ LOL. The famous Ah Gua show but its the epic 'high' one so they call it Tiger Show. My mum didn't join the whole bus to watch the show which cost 500baht = RM50. We went for shopping instead and i saw shoes heaven=_= my favorite types on display at there..haiz.....but Times Square quality is much much more better than Thai's. Well, after the Tiger Show, most of them asked for body massage ranging from RM 30-RM75. Mum and I just plopped ourselves to bed after back from shopping..exhausted.....
